 

EAR PINNING SURGERY (OTOPLASTY) IN AUSTIN, TX

UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY: EAR RESHAPING PROCEDURE

Otoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to improve the
appearance of prominent or protruding ears. Typically performed on
patients as young as six years old, this procedure addresses ear shape
concerns that can impact self-confidence.

COMMON EAR SHAPE CONCERNS

Prominent ears often result from two primary structural issues:

 	* Lack of antihelix fold, creating a "lop ear" appearance
	* Large or significantly angled conchal bowl

SURGICAL APPROACH

Louis William Apostolakis M.D. uses advanced suturing techniques to
reshape ear cartilage carefully. The goal is to create a natural ear
contour while avoiding potential deformities like "broken ear" or
"telephone ear" appearance.

PROCEDURE DETAILS

 	* Cost Range: $4,500 – $5,500

	* Anesthesia Options: 

 	* Local anesthesia
	* Local anesthesia with sedation
	* Local anesthesia with optional "valium" pill

 	* Incision Location: Behind the ears, within natural creases

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Otoplasty recovery is typically straightforward with minimal
disruption to daily activities:

 	* 24 hours until public exposure
	* 1-2 weeks for ears to approach normal appearance
	* Minimal bruising and pain
	* Head bandage worn for initial 24 hours

POTENTIAL RISKS

Risks associated with otoplasty are minimal and include:

 	* Potential infection
	* Rare instances of suture splitting
	* Minimal risk of ear shape reversal

PATIENT CONSIDERATIONS

Dr. Apostolakis emphasizes patient-centered care, discouraging parents
from pressuring children who are not concerned about their ear
appearance. The procedure is most successful when patients genuinely
desire the change.
